Chapter 36 Gearing Up

() Since Taiwan declared du li in 1895, it has actually been in a state of war. At that time, the declaration of war with Japan has not been lifted. The entire industry and military of Taiwan are moving towards du li.

After nearly 20 years of hard work, Liu Fu used his abundant funds and David's connections around the world to develop Taiwan's defense industry to a level that was many years ahead of the times. Even when the great powers did not notice,

Over the years in Taiwan, Taiwan's navy has owned more than 100 main battle submarines, half of which are newly upgraded "Shark-class" ocean-going submarines.

However, the number of surface ships in Taiwan is very small. Except for the 6 Keelung-class destroyers, the rest are "Haiyan-class" torpedo boats. Although after many years of transformation, the Haiyan-class torpedo boats have matured a lot, but as a

It is a small ship for offshore defense. It cannot follow the submarine force and conduct long-distance attacks, but it is sufficient for the defense of various ports in Taiwan.

Compared with Taiwan's highly decorated navy, especially its submarine force, Taiwan's army is unknown. Due to the limitation of Taiwan's total population base, Taiwan's army has remained at around 30,000 people, plus less than 100,000 reservists.

The overall number is also pitifully small, but since Taiwan is an island,

There are not many key ports that require army defense, so Taiwan's army has always adopted a police policy. It is not only equipped with Taiwan's self-developed semi-automatic rifles and grenades, but also equipped with mortars and 75mm guns, and the equipment density is far greater.

among the armies of all countries in the world. The most enviable thing is that Taiwan

The Taiwan Army is also equipped with the world's first practical armored vehicle. In many army exercises held by the Ministry of National Defense, the Taiwan Army's firepower equipment can completely defeat the main army equipment of various countries around the world at that time. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, the opponent

There is no powerful artillery group support. Having said that, if you want to

If the organization transports heavy weapons to Taiwan's land in large quantities, then the other side will break through Taiwan's maritime defense line composed of submarines, mines and torpedo boats. Liu Fu is not worried about this situation. He firmly believes that currently in Asia, there are still

No country's navy can break through this line of defense, not even a multinational coalition.

At this combat mobilization meeting, all departments in Taiwan expressed their firm support for the various orders issued by the Presidential Office, and started working from the next day to publicize the significance and purpose of this operation throughout Taiwan, and cooperated with the Presidential Office to do a good job

Mobilization work before the war. At the meeting, Liu Fu also

In particular, the heads of various departments present at the meeting gave clear instructions to the internal affairs department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to strictly monitor some unstable people and groups on the island of Taiwan that had been recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If any abnormal behavior is discovered, they must act resolutely.

To eradicate it, we must ensure that there is no chaos on the island.

Arrangements have been made

Internally, the rest is military arrangements. Since most of Taiwan's ports are concentrated in the northwest, the general staff plans to arrange the 25,000 Taiwan Army troops in Keelung, Hsinchu, Changhua, Tainan and Citong.

, the remaining five thousand people are stationed in Taitung, these cities and ports

The entrances to Taiwan are already connected to the railway. If the enemy navy's landing attempt is discovered, the troops in each station can use the railway to reinforce to the designated location within one day. In addition, the Taiwan Army is highly mechanized, and can be transported by cars and motorcycles.

, and can also assemble large forces in a short period of time.

In addition to the arrangements of the army, the task of the Taiwan Navy is even heavier. Liu Fu concentrated the torpedo boat units of the Taiwan Navy in several important ports such as Keelung, Hsinchu, Tamsui, and Citong. In addition, some small ports in Taichung and Taitung are easy to land.

Mines were laid at various locations. Taiwan's First and Second Submarine Battalions were divided into more than 30 squads and assigned to major military ports in Japan, southern China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, the Philippines and other places, taking turns to monitor the movements of the navies of various countries.

In addition to internal affairs and military deployment, another problem is Taiwan's resources. Although over the years, Liu Fu has spared no effort to purchase large quantities of various metals and chemical raw materials that Taiwan lacks from all over the world, almost filling the stores near Taipei.

places and warehouses, but once a war breaks out, Taiwan will definitely be severely punished by all countries

Due to sanctions, it was not so easy to obtain various materials and raw materials. Therefore, Liu Fu directly telegraphed the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel in the United States and purchased a large amount of various materials from the United States and Europe through David and Schneider's companies.

It must be shipped to Taiwan within one month. Regardless of whether it is enough or not, more is better.

With Liu Fu's presidential decree, Taiwan quickly began nationwide preparations for war, but the parliamentary meetings in Hong Kong did not go smoothly. The first problem is that various countries are unable to determine what kind of Taiwan's submarines they are.

Weapons, although Japan, Russia, including several countries here may have been stolen by Taiwanese submarines

attack, but no one can explain how this monster lurking in the sea launched an attack, and how it concealed itself for such a long time, let alone the legendary torpedoes that are so powerful that they have surpassed the navies of all countries.

People's cognitive scope cannot be like science fiction, and they cannot imagine a weapon out of thin air.

Without determining Taiwan's naval combat effectiveness, countries cannot determine how much force is needed to suppress Taiwan's navy. If Taiwan's navy cannot be suppressed, then troop transport ships from various countries cannot transport armies to Taiwan. Although Taiwan is a small island, it does not have an army.

, still unable to defeat or occupy Taiwan.

After countless meetings and discussions among naval elites from various countries, this issue still has not been completely resolved. In desperation, the German Navy proposed to first determine the number of troops each country can send, and finally decide whether to launch an attack on Taiwan.

This proposal was recognized by various government officials, so a meeting to send troops and subscribe for shares began.

The first is the Japanese. Their fleet is basically gone. However, the Japanese army has won the approval of various military officials in a series of battles. Therefore, with a stroke of a pen, the Japanese army has eliminated the army that attacked Taiwan this time.

It's all included. Japan's military headquarters plans to dispatch 4 standing divisions from Japan's mainland

Regiment, a Type A Army with a total of more than 120,000 people, serves as the main force to attack Taiwan. However, the ships to transport these soldiers need to be provided by various countries. The current Japanese company transports supplies to the Japanese garrisons stationed in Lushun and Northeast China.

They couldn't even get it together, let alone carry an offensive force of 120,000 people.

In addition to the Japanese army, the Russians also gritted their teeth and dispatched 20,000 troops stationed in the northern Northeast and Vladivostok, but transportation also requires help from various countries. The remaining Britain, the United States, France and Germany each sent hundreds to thousands of troops as a kind of

The existence of symbolism. In addition, these troops need a nominal commander-in-chief. After discussion for a long time, the countries decided to hand over the command to Major General Mei Long, commander of the German Qingdao Garrison, who would coordinate the combat affairs of the armies of various countries.

Since the navies of Russia and Russia are basically scrapped in Japan, Britain, the United States, France and Germany are basically responsible for dispatching warships. The United Kingdom plans to send 2 battleships, 4 cruisers and 5 destroyers; France plans to send 1 battleship, 4

cruisers and 3 destroyers; the United States plans to send 1 battleship, 4 cruisers and 4 destroyers; Germany plans to send 2 armored ships

Cruisers and 4 protected cruisers. Since Germany only has 8 major battleships in the Far East, it sent 6 at a time. It was almost vomiting blood. Not only the Germans, but also Britain, the United States and France did not have many battleships in the Far East. What they proposed this time was

Plan to dispatch, this plan will have to be sent back to each country for approval, and then suitable warships will be dispatched to the nearest place. It is estimated that it will take 2 months at the earliest.
